Another Time
Chen Chieh-jen, Tacita Dean, and Peter Hutton
The three films in Another Time are poetic visions of disappearing technology and industries. By slowing down the viewer’s experience of time, the films encourage reflection on the personal and collective loss connected to notions of linear history, progress, technological advancement and global economies.

(loverboy), sleep, shatter, handheld bird
Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Rodney Graham, Barry Le Va, and Charles Ray
Four works by Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Rodney Graham, Barry Le Va, and Charles Ray are brought together based on a series of affective relationships, emphasizing a central concern of both the art on view and the exhibition’s organizing premise: the charged space of encounter between materials, objects, bodies, or experiences, and the new meanings that come from their meeting.

Under the Influence
John Baldessari, Jen DeNike, Nancy Holt, Tim Jackson, Joan Jonas, David Jones, Jill Magid, Rachel Mason, Michele O’Marah, and Robert Smithson
In every relationship—be it lover, student, teacher, friend, colleague—there exists a tension, a psychological push-pull, a subtle (and sometimes not so subtle) tug-of-war between dominance and submission. These frictions can surface under stress, but also amidst seemingly playful moments. Under the Influence considers what happens when this aspect of life enters the art-making process. Opening day performances by: Rachel Mason, snowboots, and Arctic Circle.

Second Thoughts presents exhibition as revision. Curated by 14 graduate students at the Center for Curatorial Studies, it is a direct response to Exhibitionism (October 20, 2007 – February 3, 2008), a series of autonomous and idiosyncratic micro-exhibitions that were curated by Matthew Higgs for each of the 16 galleries in the Hessel Museum of Art. By engaging amplification, erasure, extension, and redress, Second Thoughts seeks to alter the strategies utilized by Higgs in Exhibitionism to progressively revise the
entire exhibition.

French artist Marcelline Delbecq (b. 1977) contributes a new work for Second Thoughts that will interact with the preceding exhibition, Exhibitionism, thus incorporating the history of the site into the structure of her work. Additionally, New York–based artist Jaime Isenstein (b. 1975)—whose video work was recently brought into the Hessel Collection—will present a durational performance in the Museum (April 13, 1:00–4:00 p.m.) where she transforms herself into the arms and legs of a wingback chair.

These exhibitions were made possible with support from the Rebecca and Martin Eisenberg Student Exhibition Fund, Mitzi and Warren Eisenberg, and the Patrons, Supporters and Friends of the Center for Curatorial Studies. Additional support provided by the Monique Beudert Award and the French Embassy in the US. Special thanks to the Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation.
